Alert

Modus operandi of scamsters circulating unsolicited stock tips/recommendations in Stocks, F&O through various SM platforms like watsap, Instagram, telegram, SMS etc.


One set of 50K people receive an SMS to buy XYZ co. Another set of 50K people told to sell XYZ co.

One set makes profit. 

Set of loss-making people abandoned.

Out of remaining profit making 50K people, 25K again given Buy calls & other half given Sell calls.

Again, one set makes profit & loss-making set abandoned.

Out of remaining 25K, half set once more given Buy & other half set given Sell call.

Same thing repeats. 

One set of 12.5K people are in profit.

Other half set abandoned.


Do remember that all above calls are free till now.

Finally, 12.5K people hv experienced 3 successive accurate calls & r impressed by now. They want to continue further. 

But now the calls are chargeable!

Suppose it’s 5K p.m. Even if 10% ppl subscribe to it, that tipster is making more than Rs 60L in a single month.
Fee of Rs 5K is not what a subscriber is losing. It’s the loss on future calls that is the real cost to subscriber. Some people may lose as much as their entire capital to these fraud calls as they do not engage in proper risk management.

While for scamster, 1 month income is enough to earn & run away/close its operation. Next month onwards new set of victims are chosen & the same modus is repeated. Big money is minted until they r busted by regulators/cyber police etc.


How they do get contact nos? 

Oh, common on! 

Everything is available at some price🙂

If u are new to equity markets & are being lured by such lucrative calls/unsolicited tips provided through watsap, SMS, telegram or any other platforms, time to let your guards up & report these tipsters to cyber police/regulators.



Request the readers to  spread awareness as much as possible & help new entrants to our fascinating world of equity markets from falling trap to these market wolfs.

Thanks for reading,

ðŸšĻ ITR REFUND ALERT – READ THIS BEFORE 31 DEC ðŸšĻ

Thousands of taxpayers are suddenly receiving this message 👇 👉 “Your ITR refund is on hold due to risk management discrepancies. File revised return within a week.” ðŸ’Ą Irony? ⏳ Income Tax Dept took 4+ months to identify the issue ⏰ And now gives taxpayers barely a few days to fix it ❓ Why no detailed email received? Because most of these are system-generated risk flags. Sometimes:  • Email goes to old registered ID • Lands in spam • Or only SMS/portal alert is triggered 👉 Always check the ITR portal → e-Proceedings / Worklist 📌 What does “ITR processing on hold” mean? It does NOT mean notice or scrutiny ❌ It means:  ðŸ”đ Refund claim looks unusual compared to data available with department ðŸ”đ Return is paused before issuing refund ðŸ”đ Taxpayer is given a chance to self-correct ⚠️ Common reasons refunds get flagged : ðŸ”đ TDS/TCS mismatch TDS claimed in ITR is higher than what appears in Form 26AS (employer/bank hasn’t deposited or corrected data yet) ðŸ”đ AIS vs ITR income mismat...
